Thats the beauty of the rutt bucks will show up from miles away. That public land with hills may be really good. Not many people will be out cuz they think wind is bad, the rut is kickin in good, and you got hills and valleys that will hold deer tryin to stay outta the wind. Id take a climber and find a nice valley outta the wind that you think might hold some deer and find some good scrapes or scrape line and hunker down. Good luck
